resist; and a guarantee in sums voted by the I'M
prial treasury is only an indirect method oil
ulac,ng the responsibility on the British taX'
payer This question Of guarantee is one on
which opinion is most conflicting. Consequently 1t
is not surprising that Mr.. Chamhcrlans me'hods
have not given universal satisfaction.
Que thing Mr. Chambcrlain's magnificent re-
eeption has early cs,a shcd. that l'ier VIII not
bear the yoke of Nationalist PaIhamcn' Inc
demands of Ulster must meet with more ccnsuefa-
,;on in future than hitherto 1t i, notable that Me-
rbamle,l lins pronounced Radical. SIN has not stood
in the way OF bis reception by the Ulster 1oreS'
who crowded to hear him. Even tie Duke OF Aoer-
corn was glad 70 present him with an address
aThc Times" declares that Mr.. Chamberlain mas
never spoken better, nor more vigorously nor
more effectively, and never had more symIa'he"o
audiences.
The srcechcs OF other Uniouist- this week sho"
that they are taking as their wa'ch"oru 'ne
necessity above al things OF restoring the suef'na-
cv Of law in Ireland. Notwithstanding tins
warning and the check the Government I''''Ven
through their own blundcrings, Mr.. Eaiiour decays
his return TO Dul lin. lie is now visiting the
Duke of Westminster in ChcsLiee. The Irish Land
owners Committee show willingness to negotiate
on leases according to Archbishop Washs pro-
posai, but complain that there is no response from
the tenants. while Archbishop walsh has with
drawn his scheme with susl icious al'cii'y. Ihe
Times cruelty returns to the charge against
Archbishop Walsh, stating that his scheme was
merely intended 10 throw dust III the eyes Of
Monsenor Pcrsico.
Mr. Gladstone speaks at nottingham On Tuesday,
and several of his colleagues have discussed with
him at IIawarden the outline Of his speech
sign that public opinion is becoming wearied OF
the Irish question is found in the report that this
Hawarden conference brought pressure upon Mr..
Gladstone TO deIart from his pl,dge not to 5. cak
on any other subject than Irish AFFAIRS II Is
understood that Mr.. Gladstone yid}ed and that
his speech Will cover wide fcii Of Liberal
legis lation.
The Liberals arc becoming embarrassed by the
many signs of the spread Of Protccuonlst pnnc'-
rls in this country Lord Salisbury is firm
Free Trader, but the rank and file ore becoming
converted and it is thought thar many Conserva-
tive chiefs will hardly be able 70 resist the
pressure which Will be brought 70 hear on them
1t is significant that several Journals devoted to
agricultural subjects, which of course circulate
largely in provincial districts, and which have
hitherto been Free Traders arc now Fair Traders.
One of the number goes so far as TO declare that
the Protectionst Iarty is established and only
wants leader. The PrOtectiOmsts announce that
when they declare their policy they Will comIei
the support of the Irish Naticnalists because
Protection to native industries is ono of Mr.. Par
nelis demands. 1t is thought that Mr.. Goschen
will alIudc to the Fair Trade sub
ject in his forthcoming speeches. Nearly
three years ago he withdrew from the Golden
Club, and since then he has been absorbed by the
Conservatives. If this question goes beyond its
present theoretical stage it is more likely TO
develop an Imperial Customs Union for the
Colonies and mother country than TO set up
merely Protectionist t,Iiff for Great Britain.
The daily demonstrations of the unemployed
in London have al length received q check
Under charge Of stopping traffic and interfering
with foot passengers the procession was broken
up and the leaders taken before magistrates and
lightly punished. Before this was done the pro-
cessiouists passed "1hc Standard office and hssed
and hoOted because OF recent leading article in
that paper. At many points the general public
groaned and hootcd the proccssionists, and jcered
at their black flag. 1t was ludicrous to observe
what large number Of police escorted and
nurscd the demonstrators After last Strings
West End riots such professions are not TO De
trusted. Even THE Daily News" approves the
suppression of these demonstrations
Another attempt is being made in London 10
promote House Rent League" on the tactics Of
the IRISH plan of Campaign" IL is said that
Committees have already been appointed to decide
wh' ther PARTICULAR house rents arc excessive, and
also TO receive rents and bold them TN the
landlord consents 10 a reduction. Unfortunately
ior uis project, a Queens writ runs straighter
and swifter in London than in Ireland, and if
Iersons attempt this modern system of plunder
they VIII soon find themselves inside a prison.
